Multifaceted Masculinity

True Narcissists are douchebags! Well, they can be. Narcissism in relationships, Narcissism in the Church or other organizational leadership - it seems to be a hot topic lately and many are still trying to understand it. It tends to creep into even the most beautiful of environments and stifle initially benevolent intentions. In today's episode, Josh and Seth unpack Narcissism and its close proximity to our worlds and how it can negatively influence, control, limit and block a healthy reality or paradigm for where we’re at.  

In this episode you'll learn:

• Basic characteristics of narcissism and how it develops

• True healthy masculinity vs. toxic narcissistic masculinity
• Narcissistic tendencies vs. being a narcissist 
• What Narcissists need to survive
• How to address your Narcissistic tendencies
• The Empowerment Dynamic - Victim vs. Creator

“The church environment, in my opinion, is a breeding ground for narcissism because of the whole service mentality.” - Josh

“Narcissism finds its safety in controlling” - Josh

“You can’t open your heart up and not be empathetic. Plant Medicine allows for you to be empathetic” - Seth

“They could be a complete asshole and you can still love them but that does not mean you’re supposed to stay in that relationship. Love is not always enough.” - Seth

[Looks like Nadya didn’t do quotes yet for this episode, so I didn’t think to listen for quotes, but I kind of remember some things we talked about, so maybe the above will work.]

Have you ever felt like there was a wet blanket over your mind or your heart, making it difficult to think or feel good? One reason this may be happening is because of Codependency. We experience codependency in many ways; maybe with where we live, our careers, the climate of our lives in general, but in this episode, Josh and Seth discuss Codependency within relationships. Since they can be the most difficult to navigate, overcoming Codependency in relationships could ultimately help us to overcome it in other areas of our lives as well.  

In this episode you'll learn:

• How to identify Codependency in our relationships
• What to do when the confusion sets in and it’s hard to see straight
• What it looks like when we enable boundary violations
• How FEAR drives us to be codependent
• Tools and Strategies to remove confusion from codependency

“You’re using your need for Connection as a facade to justify violating her boundaries” - Josh

“I spent years in my marriage trying to conform to what she wanted me to be without knowing how to voice my needs in the relationship” - Seth

What is Ayahuasca? https://chacruna.net/is-ayahuasca-a-drug/

I wasn't sure what to fully expect going into my first ayahuasca retreat. I had heard everything from "You're going to see demons and talk to the devil" to "it will be the most healing experience of your life." I came into it with a few intentions, but also a heart posture of being open to whatever the experience had for me.

I walked away from the retreat with a few unexpected answers, some deeply healing moments, and mixed feelings about the experience. Today's episode dives into each of those aspects and hopefully helps bring clarity to anyone who may be considering ayahuasca. 

Men can inadvertently become fickle and reactionary when they begin the journey of "emotional health".

Today we talk about the primary ways your emotions can betray you, and how you can learn to differentiate the process of validating your emotions while not letting them overtake you.

There are several well-intended men who slowly lose themselves in a relationship. They do all they can to "love" the other person, not realizing their actions lead to feeling insecure and ultimately causes them to doubt their own intuition. The painful reality is it leads to becoming "less of a man" in their own eyes as well as their partner. 

We're talking about codependence... it can be less obvious than you may think.

Today we're going to dive into tangible ways to identify and disrupt the unhealthy cycles created from codependent relationships.

The holiday season is normally chaulked full of festivities that create life-long memories. They are a time to be thankful, celebrate, and share with one another, all of which are some of the most beautiful qualities life has to offer. 

But for some men, this time of year is horrible. It brings up pain, old trauma, and isolation. I'm talking specifically for men who are single dads.

Today is nothing more than a short, heartfelt conversation meant to let you know I see your pain, you're not alone, and you have the ability to finish this year strong.

As men, we've all felt like a fraud at some point but did you know it could actually be a positive thing? I'm not talking about hiding behind false humility or using it as a way to emotionally abuse yourself into "success".

I'm referring to using the feeling of being a fraud as an indicator that you're moving through the stages of competency. Once you learn how to identify it within the stages you begin to see how to use it as an encouragement to keep moving forward rather than a catalyst for a self-doubting spiral.

Unconscious incompetence

The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage. The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.[5]

Conscious incompetence

Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, they recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage.

Conscious competence

The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill.[5]

Unconscious competence

The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.

Four stages of competency

Impostor Syndrome

We all have this inner voice that tries to give us an out from taking responsibility, confronting our shortcomings, and embracing our greatness... it's our inner victim mentality... better known as our "inner bitch".  

The challenge comes when we try to identify the voice because it is largely driven by our subconscious. 

That can change today if you're willing to confront it. We will dive into what exactly is your inner victim, how to identify the areas of your life it is steering the ship, and how to change the cycle of dependency you've built.
